Richard Coles: The Canon of Crime
Canon Daniel Clement enjoys a quiet life with his mother Audrey and his two dachshunds in the peaceful village of Champton. But when he decides to add a lavatory to the church, the parish is thrown into discord – leading to murder. Reverend Richard Coles introduces Murder Before Evensong, the first novel in his Canon Clement Mystery series in this event with Stuart Kelly. Coles is a writer and broadcaster and the only vicar to have had a number one hit record.
